TRIPZILLA is stomping into Malaysia with a localised version of the travel deal search site, my.TripZilla.com, its first overseas market after Singapore.
The Malaysian portal had been under construction since October last year, and now offers some 3,000 packages and itineraries from 69 travel agencies. It also aggregates promotions from 13 daily deals sites, LCCs, airlines, credit card companies and hotel chains.
“Technically, from the onset, TripZilla’s architecture was built such that it can easily be scaled to many other countries in the region. However, the team wanted to validate the product and ensure that we are profitable, before we took on regional expansion,” said Eric Koh, co-founder and CTO, Travelogy, the Singapore-based start-up that built and runs TripZilla.
“As more businesses move their marketing dollars online, and more people perform their travel research and bookings via the web, we are confident that our market will keep growing,” he added.
